DSC00137.JPGRecently a good friend of mine, through no intention of being a superstar Hollywood stunt driver, managed to mount a kerb asleep and flip her car, crawling out with but a few scratches and bruises.

DSC00159.JPG I suppose it is funny to some extent how life turns out. Of course I don't mean its ha-ha funny. But in a way, it makes you think someone around has a sense of humor a little out of proportion to your own.


The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility.

Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
